Pantry Success!
Thanks to all the members who donated school supplies to St. Andy's Pantry. During our three previous distributions we were able to help 60 families with a total of 123 children. I wish you could have seen the expressions on the faces of parents when I asked them if their children needed school supplies. It truly warmed my heart. Thank you for your generosity.
